And I must say, it makes the car sound so f'n sweet. It has more pull towards the higher RPM's. I definately recommend it to anyone wanting a good header & downpipe.

One question, though. When I got home (drove it kind of hard on the way, sounded too good not to drive it hard..) I got out of my car and opened the hood, it smelt as if something was melting or burning.. Maybe this is just the header/DP breaking in, but I just wanna make sure. Thanks guys!

 

Yeah its the coating and the cat. I just put the DP on and it did smell like **** for a day or two. It will go away.

 

its the cat breakin in and burining all the **** off. mine smelt like ass for the first week

 

I just put mine on saturday and as I was leavint the exhaust shop the guy said with most headers there is a "break-in" period whick consists of letting the car idle for about 20 minutes, letting it cool completley and then idling it again for another 10 min.

 

Thanks guys. +rep Brian. wd; I would +rep you, but it wont let me yet As soon as it does, i'll hit ya up. haha

Thanks bro. Good to know. +rep.

 

sweet.. I think i'm ordering my zzp header DP this weekend... did you get your o2 extension? that is the only reason I'm waiting

 

They are now shipping them with the extensions whereas at the beginning (when I ordered mine) they didn't...

I love the power increase but I keep blowing the gaskets, it either isn't machined right or warped and I really don't want to take it off again. I'm thinking of just welding it and being done with it...

 

if i get the combo do i need the s/c stock exhaust manifold for my s/c setup or it will work with the ss/sc stock lower intake manifold or i need both???

 

don't driv ehard for th efist few hundred miles or you'll fry your cat out.

 

the combo will replace your exhaust manifold and will flow better for your SC setup..

it's an header (exhaust mani) and downpipe which will replace everything down to your catback exhaust, get a catback for some nice air for you SC for some nice gains

 

i got my o2 extension about a week after i ordered.

how do u know when you blow a gasket?

 

Negative rep for not posting pics! J/K

Congrats man. That burning smell goes away after a day or 2.

Good luck with your new found power. Makes getting on the highways a whole lot better.

 

ok kool so i need the lower intake maifold so the s/c will fit...ok i understand now...I got a megan catback ....but def the zzp header/dp will def be an option once this whole set up is done

How much would it cost to install a supercharger?...is it cheaper than a turbo setup...cause they have so many pipeings in ****?

 

haha **** god to know I get on it everyday... so i wont do that when I get it installed haha...

how much was it for install? and how hard is it to do yourself? i'm going back and forth between installing it myself or not... it depends on the price really... and also if i do a full catback or just an axle back to compliment it

 

oops, i drove the hell out of it on my way home. ill have to stop that for a while. i paid a little over 100 for the install, but u can get a better price.

 

how much is your favorite brand of booze? and how much do you charge yourself? it's easy to do man... you just have to make sure all the gaskets are in and everythings a tight seal ... getting the belt on would probably be the hardest part but even that shouldn't be too bad..

sc install >>>>>>>>>>turbo install

if you have all the parts for an sc kit, it's pretty much just an extensive bolton

 

Thanks man!
He also said, DO NOT beat on it for a weak and after that week re-check the torque on all the bolts.

How do you like the sound now? I'm not a real big fan of the way mine sounds now.

 

hmm in that case maybe i'll just get someone to install it and an axle back for like 800 total.. then aeroforce gauges and a tune and i'm golden..... for now

sound clips are a must for this thread.. and for me ..

 

i love the sound. but damnit! i wanna get on it. lol

so i should wait for about 300 miles of driving it easy?

 

probably a good idea.. it's like breaking in a new car.. just only a certain.. very vital part of your car haha

and we need vids

 

can't make vids if i can't get on it. or can i?

 

You will know it... Some people aren't having problems. Its the gasket between the header collector and downpipe. It will sound like exhaust is coming through the dash, impossible to miss.

 

just get an idle and a soft rev to like 3K that shouldn't be too bad.. then in interior

 

do you have to buy the extension seperate... where do you get one

 

i think it's supposed to come with it because the O2 sensor is mounted in a different place from stock ie on the DP and not the header
